': ~ ~ 1 ~~. ~~ ' 4 SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOTIMIALS. The story of gaming in high life, which has for a few days occupied so much public attention, and which, if not for a purpose we shall presently allude to, at least with a singular bad taste and love of the Mar vellous, was compared to the crimes of Thurteli.linki .Probert, is already dying away ; and who lost or who won the money, and whether it be paid ) or the pay meut most honourably resisted, are matters which will soon , cease, to interest any body besides the parties concerned. " Indeed we strongly suaptet that the Press has been made us e of up o n this occasion merely ,to intimidate one party, ankt benefit the other..--- Such things happen too frequently ; and those Who trace the beginning tmf this affair in the nawspapers from the vague paragraph about its hastening the re turn of Mr, Canning from nance, to the artful and overcharged explosion which at length appeared, probably think we are not very wide of ere mark in Making such a guess. But though the affair itself, as well as the parties engaged in it, are much too insig nificant to merit the notice it has attracted—not . so time vile system out of which it arises, and which is every ray gaining ground among us to a frightful extent:- 7 - Let a man only pass down the principal streets at the Court end of the town, and view the temples of plun der which are there already existing, and about to be erected, in a style of splendour, and to an extent which snore than rivals the Royal Palaces ; let him inquire how many hells of minor note exist within a stone throw of the same spot ; and he will cease to woL ider , ille.ever has done so, at such disclosures as th at to which we have alluded, and will milt . ; 'be astonished that they are lid more frequent. lint vile and loath.. some as these places are, and, fraudulent and hellish as the practices carried on at most of them are known to . be, it is not even at 'iteem that many of our young men of rank are fir;"c initiated into . scenes which un dertnine their characters, corrupt their minds,'root out every sense ors honesty and, right feeling, and ultimately render thism either beggars or cheats, constrained to maints:m a precarious existence by practices, with vsli;,ch those of the common sharper bear no compari uon, except in ingenuity and skill. Strange to say, it •ts before a young man's entry into the world that he lost often becomes an adept at the means of his own 'future ruin ; it is at those places where he ought to learn better things that he is allowed—we might almost say, encouraged—to dedicate to, horse-racing, to gambling, and to drinking, those hours which ought 'to be app ro p r i a t e d t o far different pursuits, and would he so dedicated were those places what they profess to be, places for the cultivation of 44 sound learn ing and religious. education." And can we wonder at the produce, when we see the nature of the seed that is thus sown. Can we with justice up braid the youth who are thus misled ; or can we won der at the ignorance and indiscretion which come from places where wisdom and discretion are so little etiltivated or attended to ? Sincerunt est nisi vas, rodcanque itylaidis.acescii." Every man who moves in the world must see and know the truth of what we are stating, and must weirder at the indolence or cri minal connivance by which such practices are permit ted; and so many noble minds corrupted and undone. It 6 but a day or two ago that we ' saw it announced that a Noble Duke was so disgusted With : the prac tices of the sharks and hlack-legs at Newmarket, that he had determined to withdraw hinnielf altogether from the,turf. Yet a t thi s pl ace , and at them - hells with 1141 st abounds, many, of the youth educating at Cauibriage are permitted to attend, there to imbibe the first rudiments of that vice which is to stigmatize • and blast their' future reputation, bringing ruin and misery upon themselves and their connexions. If some of the sleepy drones who rule over such places and per mit such practices, would a w a k e f or one m omen t from their dreams of future mitres, and ask themselves how forthe sufferance of such things can be " doing their duty in that state of life to which it has pleased God to call them," conscience might perhaps, with its " still small voice," whisper 'them a lesson more use , ful, both to themselves and others, than any which has beers yet taught within their walls.—Morning Herald.

PETERSBUR6H, OCT. a report, dated 24th Sept., General Yeri'Aaloff has stated to the Emperor, that very soon after his victory at the river Schatatter s e.ed 1116 cupation of Elizabethpol, Maior43tcheral Prince Matta toff learned that Abbas Nieza had effected a junction with Allaiar Kiwi; son-in-law of the Schuh, and that be was mulching to meet him, and had already passed tire; 'Ferrer. The General immediately Kent to General , Paske witch, who joined Itut ott the•night of the 2lit, at Eliza bethinit. Tttese joint forces amounted to 8,000 infantry, 13;660 tolerable cavalry, as many more hilly armed; and 25 pieces of cannon. No intelligentie nt the Schah him self has, up to this ivt*tilA, been received. The Persian troops haVe been obliged to raise the siege of Schouchi, 'LA 01. Reut having made a sortie, has gained a contsi &rabic advantage over them. Arnett khan, Abbas Mirsa's uncle was killed iii this battle of the 15th of September, in which the hiss of the enemy was much greater than et first announced ; at least 2,000 men killed and wounded. On the side of Erivan, Hassan Khan, brother t)f the Sardar, attacked; on the night of the 11th Sept. the village situated eh tilt steppe of Poloritt with 3,000 cavalry and cnried off the cattle. The troops sta tioned in the ditttict of Djelal-Oglou, immediately march ed-to the number of three companies, with their artil lery, and pressed so hard on the enetny, that they were obliged to Abandon the greater part of their booty, and to retire with some loss. Major General Prince Menchikoff • was present at this affair and took part in it, with a com pany of the 7th Regiment of Carabineers, and a piece of artillery. After the sortie from 14:lizabethpol, the Sardar of Erivan directed his march upon Chamchadil, by the lake Nekha, where he encamped near the mouth of the little river Djeham, and endeavoured by his menaces to excite a revolt among the tribes that had continued loyal to us. He intends also to pillage the natives of the dis trict of Kazask, who, from the sojourn of our troops, near the river Akstapha, have been, for the most part, redu ced to obedience, and armed against the Persians. General Yermaloff adds to these details every thing is quiet in Dhaghestan, and on the line of the Caucasus, and that he set out on the 24th for the districts of Kazask, and Chamchadil, in order to repress the ravages threatened by the Sardar of Erivan. His detachment is composed of the second batalion of the combined regiment of the guard, of a battalion of the infantry of Chirvan, a batta lion of mixed troops, 400 Cossacks, and 12 guns. Lastly, General Yermaloff informs his Majesty that he had re ceived a report from General Paskewitch, stating that on the 25th of September, at seven Versts (.5i miles nearly) from Elizabethpol, he had been attacked by the Persians under Abbas Mirza, two of his sons, and his son-in-law; that the force of the enemy was 1.5,000 infantry, about 20,000 cavalry, and 26 pieces of artillery ; but that, after a short combat, they were completely beaten and routed. The enemy lost in this action 1,100 soldiers and nine offi cers taken prisoners, as well as 2 Khans, 4 standards, 3 Rns, a falconet, and 80 caissons . On the sid e o f th e ussians, the brave Lieut.-Colonel Grekoff, two officers of the infantry of Chirvan, and forty-five soldiers were killed; and one superior and eight subaltern officers, an d t wo hun dred and forty soldiers, wounded. The enemy were in complete route; they had abandoned their baggage, and were closely pursued by General Paskewitch, and there was reason to believe that the whole province of Karabagh was thus delivered from the perfidious inroad of the - Persians. On this news being announced yesterday at mid-day, the cannon's of the fort, were fired, and in the evening there was a grand illumination. OCT. 30.—Letters from the frontiers of Ithssia, on the faith of letters from Moscow, state, that the Empe ror would not leave that city before the 11th. It that the cause of this, new prolongatioit of the Emperor's stay, has been rendered 'necessary by the negociations at Akermank, the result of which the Emperor war; t o wa it for up to that period. (From the Journal des nebula.) • , Moscow, OCT. B.—The Cham of the great horde of Kirgnshes Djanguir.Bu-Keef, the Princess Fatima, a Cir. cassum by birth, and three Sultana of their suite, will ass the winter here, to avoid being in the neighbourhoo d of the theatre of the war. The Emperor has given orders to General . Yermaloff, Commander-in-Chief of the army of Gruainia, to transmit the declaration of war, as soon as it reaches him, to the Persian Government. ALTONA, Orr. 20.—The epidemic, which has raged for some time past in almost all the coasts of the North, from the Scheldt to the Eyder,has also most extensively ravaged our district. From an approximate calculation, it is affirm ed that, during the months of August and September, not more than one in five has remained without being attacked. Although the type of the malady was not uniform, exhi biting in the Month of August symptoms of bilious and in flammatory fever, and, in the month of September, those of intermittent fever, yet the nature of the disease, strictly speaking, was the same throughout its course. • 01R WALTER SCOTT.--A correspondent writes to us as follows :—My departure from was so sudden, that I had not time to seek letters of introduction ; and the Scotch are not naturally fiord of introductions which only give them trouble ; but I bad resolved upon seeing Sir Walter. Scott before I left Edinburgh, and had Constable been open, I could have been et no loss, but his door was unfortunately shut. I contrived, however, to get an introduction to Mr. - , the historical painter, with whom I knew the 'poet was acquainted, and with whom it appears he spends many an hour, but I was just thirty minutes too late ! Sir Walter had been there, had told the painter some anecdotes which he assurred me threlv him into convulsions, and that he had been laughing ever since; and I believed bins, for be was hardly out of a convulsion when I entered. Disappointed—l proceeded to the Parliament House (where Sir W. sits as Chief Clerk to the Lord Commiseionsia), undies soon as I found my way into Court, I had the good luck to find the object of my pursuit. I needed no monitor to point him out—l knew him imaantly. I had never seen him before In my life ; but I bad seen many pictures of bins, and I had read some of his works, and from the pictorial and ideal together, I had formed in my mind his face exactly—and had I seen him hob bling ,in his favourite " Princes-street," I should have known him to be Sir. Welter Scott, I pushed on to rime Advocates', limit (a place reserved exclusively for the AdvoCates), to he' as near him as possible—there I had no right to be, certainly, but much to the credit of Seoteh manners, they saw I was a stranger—knew no better—and they suffered me to remain. On first beholding Sir W. Scott, I Mt all the veneration which is due to the good and to the great. I confess I could have knelt down and worshipped hint, though to man I never bent a knee. I shall endeavour to describe his person—heis:tall, five feet ten or eleven inches, ra ther stout than otherwise, but not corpulent—appears to be about sixty.

You might fancy him the ' 1 Village Preacher " of Oliver Goldsmith, and his cos tusue heightens the resemblance. His complexion is ruddy. His bead is singularly formed ; uncommonly high from the eye-brows to the crown, and tapers upwards, somewhat in the conical form, but there i s no projection of forehead, which the bump philoso phers lay so much stress upon as being a sign of great intellect.

A-IVlceting of the Shateholdeh : i belonging.to the Chi • liakand Peruvian Mining ASsoCiatiou was.. held yesterday, purSuant to an advertio.eintlit hi the Lanfititi eiazette, in th6;r rooms, O. 4, White7lion-court, Conant'. NO one was admitted, except those. who had signed the deed of settlement, 1111 persons who requested permiSsion,' as Con= nected with the press, were .rodily admitted, except the repoitei• for the Molitit Herald, who- was, in the firet stance, expressly excluded. A Shareholdersstated, that he Aad been interceded with b the reporter of the, Moraine Herald; and he conceived tbat in this :opinicini if 64 dtiiitted tinY repbrieis i they admit ail. One of the Directors said there was nothing on their part to conceal ; but there was an attack made upon them h the Harald of that Iporiihig i which Manifested an unfair ness that ) in his *idiot), would justify the exclusion of the representative of that paper. The Directors having entered the Meeting, Mr. WM: HERPOIICR, jun: was called to the Chair : 'when he diretted ' that the reporter fur the Morning Herald should be ad mitted, which being done, the Chairman said, " The Directors, I am requested to state, have ordered the doors to be thrown wide open to gentlemen belonging to the press, because they are willing that all their proceedings should be made known to the world; but -they thought it due to themselves and the shareholders, to make a distinc tion as against the representative of a paper which could insert so unfounded a statement as that contained in the article which I shall now read. It says— " A meeting will be held to-day, to consider t; Nether the share holders in the Chilian and Peruvian mining scheme shall proceed with the thing, or give it up before more money flies from their : pockets. We recommend the shareholders to give it up as soon as possible, for from the first it is as pr ec i ous a bi t o f h um b ug as ever John Bull was inveigled into. We recommended the public, when first we heard of it, to have nothing to do with it ; but no, John Bull's mouth was open for large gains ; little capital to be advanced, and no trouble, but merely meeting to talk and pass re solutions for miners, secretaries, and other worthies to execute. Oh, John ! what a blind buzzard bast thou been for the last two years; and yet you call this the intellectual age." The CHAIRMAN proceeded to say, that the charge of fraud contained in' this paragraph was as unfounded as it was gross and unqualified. The Secretary proceeded to read the report, when he was interrupted by the door-keepers, who entered in a fright, and exclaimed, " There's more than a dozen Scrip holders at the door, who say they'll force the door, if they're not admitted." The CHAIRMAN sent word eut, that those only who had signed the deed could be recognized as shareholders, or be admitted to vote and take part in their deliberations. The directors had come to this determination, in conformity to the opinion of Counsel. A messenger came in with a note from Mr. W. Clarke, making a similar request as a scripholder. He desired a separate answer. The CHAIRMAN.—The answer already given is an an swer to all. The report proceeded to narrate very minutely the ori gin and progress of the . Company ; after which, Mr. Alderman LUCAS, Mr. GOLUSIIIDT, and two other of the directors, gave it as their opinion, from the difficulty of raising more capital under the altered state of the public opinion with respect to these speculations, not from any want of confidence in the success of the company, if ade quately supported, that it was prudent the company should be dissolved. A motion to the effect that. the company should be dis solved, and its concerns wound up by a committee, was then carried. Fourteen days were given to the scripholdcrs to come in and sign, though it was stated to be irnprn bable there would be any thing worth contending for to receive. Thotlss'were :voted to the Citaitinttit, anti the meeting wepttrated. POETRY. TIIE ILLUMINATED CITY. BY MRS. BEMANS. The hills all glowed with a festive light, • For the Royal City rejoiced by night There were lamps hung forth upon tower and tree Banners were lifted and streaming free ; Every tall pillar was wreathed with fire— Like a shooting meteor was every spire ; And the outline of meny a dome on high Was traced, as in stars, en the clear dark sky. I passed through the streets ; there were throngs co throngs— Like sounds of the deep were their mingled songs; There was music forth from each palace borne— A peal of the cymbal, the harp, and horn ; The forests heard it, the mountains rang, The hamlets woke to its haughty clang ; Rich and victorious was every tone, Telling the hind of her foes o'erthrown. Didst thou meet not a mourner for all the slain ? Thoueands lie dead on their battle-plain ! Gallant and true were the hearts that fell— Grief in the homes they have left must dwell ; Grief o'er the features of childhood spread, And bowing the beauty of woman 'a head : Didst thOu hear, irrjrist the songs, not one tender moan, For the many brave to their slumber gone? I saw not the fve of a weeper there— Too strong, perchance, Wait the bright glare. I heard not a wail 'midst the joyous crowd— The niusie . of victory was all too loud! Mighty it rolled on the winds afar, Shaking the streets like a conqueror's car; Through torches and streams its floods swept by.-.. How could I listen for moan or sigh ? Turn then away from life's pageants ! turn, Hits deep story thy heart would learn: Ever to bright is that outward show, Hassling the eyes till they see not woe! But lift the proud mantle which hides from thy view The things thou /Amidst gaze on, the sad and true ; • Nor fear to survey what its folds conceal: So must thy spirit be taught to feel! • (Monthly and European Maya:ine for November.) The attention of the French. Government seems to have been called to the subject of the Mineral Pro ductions of France. The Moniteur of Sunday last contains an official article on this subject from the office of the Minister of the Interior, in which the Director-General of Bridges and Roads endeavours to prove the gr eat probability of France containing numerous mines, which might be worked with great advantage, though little attention is at present paid, except to those of coal and iron.

Others, perhaps, are forsaken, because they could not sepport the competition with those of America ; but the case may now be different. The Revolution, too, may have had some influence. After pointing out some farther reasons which may have b re vented the Fre nc h f rom turn i ng t h e i r v i ews to this ranch of industry, the Director-General states that i t has been judged advisable to publish a summary of pr i nc ipal met a lli c b e d s not the information possessed by his Board respecting the now worked.

(From Abeigktl;p's Zee tures.) On one occasion, when I was riding / my horse's head Ind my own came pretty near together. I wan tiding, and on putting the Spur to hiM; and pulling the bridle, he threw up his head and stluelt me with it right upon the Mae: The blood flowed from it, just Ifke as if it had been Streaming from.an arm after you had introduced The lancet. I got off; got into a stable near at hand; washed nip' hands, and squeezed the bdties into their proper situation tilt well as I could. The people were certainly very kind, And wished to send for a. surgeon to me ; but I told them I would rather they, sent for a hackney-coach---04kb laughter,)—which they did, etiel I went home in it. then perceived, for the first time in my life, an imperfec tion in My sight. I could not see more than twosthirds of an object. First of all; however, I should tell you My vision was indistinct, but I found it arose from the eclipse of the third of every object on the right hand. I ascer tained this particularly as I went home, &Cause if I saw such a long name as my own, for instance, ratione-My, in a bookseller's shop, or any such place, I Cdtild see A-her-knee but I could not see the thigh at all. —(Loud laughter.)—Well, I looked with one eye, then I looked with the other, and I looked with both, but still I perceived that the third of every object was eclipsed, on what I May call my right side. Now this sort of case is alluded to by Db Woollaston, and he con tends that it might be a defect in the (vim nerves. Well, I was telling all this to a medical friend of very clever man, and he said it was impossible. I said, Welli I don't know whether it is impossible or not, but I know that what I tell you is true. It afterwards happened that be had a fall from his horse, I believe, or something of that kind, and lie had the same imperfections of sight, the eclipse of the objects being on the opposite aide. I said to him, there was only one thing that I regretted, which was, that when I was in that state I had n : t squinted, to hive seen haw the things would haire looked then. He told me he was convinced it arose from the nerve. " But," I said," did, you squint ?" " Q gad, no," said he, " I never thought of squinting." But since that time I have been. entertained with it often, and .often without having bad any blow ; and I have on those occasions squinted too, and it's just the same. And let those who can account for it, as arising from the decussation of the nerve, do it : my own opinion is, that it arises from the irregular actions of the retina. You know there are people who see ghosts, and goblins, and so on; not blue•devils ; I suppose they don't see any of those. There is a very curious case related of a man who was a well known character, and a man of sense,—where it was said, he used to see a number of people in the room with him. Now, he himself bas described the whole of the phenomenon, and all the adjuncts to it. He has said, after taking a cup of tea, coffee, or so on, they came into his room in great numbers; and as he got better, and less ner vous, be has only seen the arms or legs of the persons. Now this is all an irregular action of the retina. A gen tleman sitting in his library one day, reading or writing, on turning round his head, saw, sitting in 'a chair, a wo man in a red cloak. And he said, how came you in here, good woman ? No answer was made. Yeu have no right to be here; go out of the room. She took no notice ofhim. He got up and rung the bell for the servant; the servant came ; turn this woman out. What woman, Sir ? Why the woman in a red cloak. There's no wo man, nor any red cloak, Sir. Well, go and, fetch the doc tor for me ; tell him I am ill, and I wish to speak to him. The man, however, was not to be frightened by this, be cause he knew it was a delusion of the sight. Now, I have bad it so often, that it, has been a mattter rather of amusement to me than any thing else. I have stood be fore. a glass, and seen the upper part of my head, and eyes, and nose, very distinctly ; but I never saw that I had any mouth but all now I s ( ) t r i j ,: a wr w illa : aaitie r teiba i v i leitt l tyyw h e a e v n e m s eye nosen m and shoulders. shoulders ver y l A,s well , ou m in paarktse of f f i t h b e is r , e b ti u n t a t ? hat it is errors There is a very important case related by . 111 r. Pott—a case of concussion. An otlicer standing on the deck of a ship, after some sleet and rain had fallen, began to walk upon it : he slipped, and upon feeling his feet go from under him, he put all his muscles on the stretch to save himself. He came down on his bottom—merely on his bottom, nothing more ; but his head was jarred ; there was a complete concussion; .he was stunned;, an inflamma tion came on, and he became delirious. .Now that's a very capital case.

On Saturday last, a private soldier, belonging to the 6th regiment of the line, and stationed in the barracks of this city, was condemned to be shot for desertion, and for uttering various disloyal and seditious words with intent to.sednee others of his corps from their sworn allegiance. The prisoner, after receiving the last offices of reli gion, was brought forth, accompanied by two Catholic Priests, and escorted by 40 soldiers of his own regiment to the place of execution, which was on the Campo Grande, a short distance from this city. His coffin was carried just before him, which tended considerably to heighten the solemnity of the scene. He kneeled and prayed frequently on the way, which, in Consequence prolonged the time of going. About 10 o'clock he arrived at the fatal spot. At 11 he was ordered to march round the troops to admonish them, the two priests dictating what be said to his com rades; after which he returned to his former place, where he fell a victim to an overact of ceremony on the part of the com manding officer. There were nine picked men ordered to shoot him. He kneeled, and was desired by .the officer to pull the cap over hie face, which he did ; and whilst the officer turned round to take a reprieve from his pocket) the poor fellow dropped his hand kerchief from his hand, which was understood by the men who were to; shoot him as a signal to fire, which they did, end six bullets taking effect in different parts of his body, he fell a corpse. The officer had received the reprieve only that morning privately, but in endeavouring to convey a salutary dread of the crime, (which in the present state of affairs here, was considered necessary), and to heighten the terror of the scene, err be pro duced the pardon, he over acted his port, and, by a dreadful fata lity, the poor fellow lost hie life." LORD BYRON.—We have been favoured with a sight of a print which is about to be published by Ackermann, of a full length figure of Lord Byron, as he appeared in Italy. The original was cut in paper by Mrs. Leigh Hunt, arid is a remarkable instance of the spirit and expression which may he given in a form of representation apparently so unfavourable to their displ a y. Th e ni ceness i s sa id by those who saw Lord Byron a t that time, to be striking, and it is be lieved to be the only genuine one ever taken at full length. The following description is appended to the print :—" He used , to sit in this manner (after his daily ride) out of doors, with the back of the chair for an arm, his body indolently bent, and his face turned gently upw ar d s , o ft e n with an expression of doubt and disdain about the mouth. His riding - dress was ei Mazarine blue camlet frock, of the same colour, lined withwith a cape ; a velvet cap green, with a gold band and tassel, and black shade ; and trowsera, gaiters, and waistcoat, all white, and of one material. The cap had something the look of a coronet, and was a little pulled forward over the shade. His lame foot (the left) but slightly affected his general appearance—it was a sii t. run I, en , not a club foot, was turn e d a li tt l e on one side, a nd hurt him if much walked upon, but as h e l o unged about a room the defect was hardly ob servable. The rest of his person, till he grew fat, was eminently handsome, so were his mouth and chin, fit for a bust of Apollo. The fault of the face was, that the jaws were too wide compared with th e t em ples, and the oyes too near one another. Latterly he g rew thin a gain, as in England. His h a i r h a d b een thick and curling, and was rapidly falling off." MEETINGS OF CREDITORS. LONDON DIARY, Saxuanay, Nov. 4. (At the Court of Commissioners.) ti.
